Answer:
She can make cookies for 4.95 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x 1 2/3 = 3.333333333
16.5/ 3.333333333 = 4.95
Since Jordan is making two batches of Cookies per week, you need to multiply 2 by the amount of resources needed to bake one batch of cookies. So you multiply 1 and 2/3 by 2 to get the amount of resources neccesary for one week of making cookies. Then, you take the full amount of resources that she has, and divide that by the amount she uses per week, that number will give you the number needed to figure out how many weeks she has to bake cookies.
To figure out the number that is being divided to get the whole number in weeks, you would take the 16.5 cups of flour. The reason why this is, is because that Is the starting number of cups that she has. So here you would need to divide the amount you are taking from it each week. This will result in the amount of weeks that she is able to bake cookies with her flour.
3(4x-3)(x+6) is the answer
We are given two points: (4, -8) and (8, 5)
General equation of a line: y = mx + c
First find m (the gradient). There is a formula for this: (change in y)/(change in x) = gradient
(5 - -8) / (8 - 4) = (13) / (4) = 3.25 = m
y = 3.25x + c
Now we need to find c (the y-intercept; the value of y when x=0).
Substitute in any one of the coordinates - let's use (8, 5)
(5) = 3.25(8) + c
(5) = 26 + c
c = -21
The equation of the line: y = 3.25x - 21
I think that this answer is correct - sorry if it seems rushed.
Hope this answer helps :)
